Rainbow
Posted by grouser (Ludlow, United Kingdom) on 11 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Had the luck to capture this rainbow from the top of Cabo Girao in Madeira. They push this as the second highest cliff in Europe, but in fact it would seem to be about seventh or ninth. However at 580 metres high it's not to be sniffed at.

Great capture and a very unusual angle for the rainbow. And the "shadow" rainbow is definitely also visible.
